Like an elephant I have a strong back , with a weak mind when it comes to the opposite sex and
explaining my thoughts in Cliff note style .
IMO the rape allegations against Winston had no substance , if they were true I believe the D.A. would have followed through . That had nothing to do with my vote .
Unlike many football fans and fewer NFL scouts I certainly realize College football is nothing like the NFL.
Many players in College are still children , not realizing how hardened men with skill in the NFL can hit ,
until they are lucky enough to wake up in the NFL and feel the impact first hand .
Robert Griffin is a prime example of a great College player who found out playing with men can hurt more than he thought , though his ego might blame his team on the hits he took .
The reason my Heisman vote goes to Tre Mason , IMO he was definitely the major catalyst on a team not loaded up with Star Power College talent , while beating many top notch College teams , primarily because of his extraordinary skill .
Winston is on a team loaded with star power College players .
I stand by my analysis.
I threw in the Heisman quarterback jinx link and Robert Griffin example , just for factual fun .

It's for the best "college player" not the best NFL recruit.
No other player can really even come close to Winston this year. If it weren't for the rape allegations hanging over his head, he most likely would have been an almost unanimous choice

Maybe Tre Mason is lucky he wasn't picked as Heisman winner .
No doubt Winston dominated as a quarterback this year in College . I expect him to collapse in the NFL much like Robert Griffin .
In the last twenty six years , sixteen Heisman winning quarterbacks haven't done much impressive .
I blame inflated ego for Robert Griffin's collapse , both his and Deadskin owner Snyder . If senseless hope is what you live on Robert Griffin can be your guy
